After four years without holding the second most important soccer event in South America, at the level of national teams, this time the South American Sub 20 comes to Colombia, which will take place between January 17 and February 12.
The competition was scheduled to take place at the beginning of 2021, but the continuity of the attacks of the Covid 19 pandemic prevented it from taking place, after the one that took place in Chile in 2019.
In that last edition, Ecuador was crowned champion, beating Venezuela 3-0 in the match that ended the hexagonal. With this he wrote the most important page in the history of this category and gave way to a generation that continues to bear fruit.
His main objectives is to qualify for the final hexagonal in which he will seek to enter the Indonesia 2023 World Cup, as well as the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games and defend the title.
